You need to ask admin to alter your thread title and put Sawyer instead of ?

Be better for when it's picked up by Google.

Thanks for that.

ElizabethHerts

I think I have seen one that census and they are a likely family - thing is none of her children were called any of those names! Not that thats conclusive it's that elusive marriage cert of her and James I need to get both her father's name and profession and James too. James is a mystery too really.

Interestingly on the other thread Harry's Mum found a couple of people called Benge and Sawyer in Kent.I do think the Benge's came from Kent originally. But both Elizabeth and James put London on their places of birth - Elizabeth Paddington/Marylebone even St George Hanover Square (which I think is a red herring) and James consistently Whitechapel/Stepney.

Have you found any likely Elizabeths in 1851? I'm thinking she may have been married to someone else at that juncture, hence no marriage to James.

This is transcribed by FMP - Ancestry might be different.
The surname of the children is definitely SAWYER>
Why is Elizabeth using a different surname? I can't find a marriage to a Mr Harker/Harkin for her. (It looks like Harker/Harkin on the image)


Where did Frederick come from??
